Full textThe study asserts that Swaziland’s socio-economic development challenges cannot be effectively tackled by the Government and civil society alone but requires the participation of the private sector. The study explores the prospects for collaboration between the state and business in the context of MDGs, PPPs and CSR. The study highlights the importance of the participation of beneficiaries in the design and implementation of development projects. The importance of beneficiary participation in the design and implementation of development initiatives is discussed in the context of “good governance” linked to the notion of sustainable human development. The case studies are aimed at poverty reduction/alleviation. Linkages between the private sector and SMEs in advancing broad economic growth are explored in the case studies. It is argued that economic growth is a necessary condition for creating employment and fighting poverty underpinned by the MDGs. The Moneni upgrading project (section 3.2) explores the extent the initiative aims to improve the living standards of low-income and poor communities in line with the MDGs. The STH case study (section 3.3) is a spin off from government. The STH seeks to provide a market intermediary for the SME sector particularly rural based cultural “handicraft” industries in Swaziland as way to mitigate the effects of poverty for marginalised rural producers. The last case study (section 3.4) discusses the entrepreneur of the year awards (EYA), an initiative aimed at reducing poverty and promoting local economic empowerment and sustainable development in Swaziland. The study recommended further research in view of the major constraints highlighted by the study. It was problematic to engage in critical and detailed discourse because the concepts explored by the study are new in the Swazi development context. The other dimension that compromised detailed analysis was posed by the unavailability of research data related to both the Swazi private sector and SME sectors. The majority of the SME sector operate at micro level and have insignificant economic turnover. Further studies are important to explore ways to promote linkages for growth of these sectors in the context of poverty reduction/alleviation.

Full textFood security is the ability to secure an adequate daily supply of food that is affordable, hygienic and nutritious and it has become a chronic development problem in most urban areas of the global South. This thesis contributes to the urban food security debate by exploring the connection between drought and food security in urban Swaziland. Specifically, the study examines the effects of the 2015/16 drought on access to food in the informal settlement of kaKhoza in the city of Manzini. The study used climate change and food security conceptual framework to interrogate the connection between drought and food security in the urban context. The framework shows how climate change variables like extreme weather events (e.g. drought) impact food security drivers such as agricultural management, demographic, cultural and socio-economic variables, and how these drivers impact the four components of food security (food availability, access, utilization and stability of access). The study drew from both the positivistic and interpretivistic paradigms and adopted a case study approach based on the mixed methods research design. Data was collected from the informal settlement of kaKhoza using a three step procedure involving a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. A questionnaire was administered to 145 heads of households using systematic sampling technique. Purposive sampling was employed to select 30 and 8 respondents for in-depth and key informant interviews, respectively. The researcher also engaged the observation method approach to capture additional information about effects of drought as observed in the study site. The researcher adhered to all legal and ethical procedures during the data collection and research writing processes. As such, participation in the research was strictly voluntary without any form of coercion, whatsoever. The results reveal that drought contributes to food insecurity in low income urban spaces by reducing the quantity and frequency of free or low priced rural-urban food transfers. As a result, low income households have had to rely more on food purchases, thereby making them increasingly food insecure. The problem is compounded by reverse food flows from urban to rural areas. The drought induced food price hike, compelled many low-income households to be less dependent on the supermarket as the main source of their food, and to buy increased amounts of food from the vegetable markets and tuck shops. Residents employ different coping mechanisms to deal with drought induced food shortage, some of which are too risky and further expose them to food insecurity. These coping strategies include: skipping meals, begging, use of informal credit, over reliance on informal markets and selling of sexual favours, which expose respondents to HIV and AIDS infection.

Full textA diminuição da pobreza é um dos objetivos mais importantes das políticas de desenvolvimento dos países em vias de desenvolvimento (PVD) que, todavia, está ainda longe de ser alcançado. As medidas de diminuição da pobreza, quer ao nível local quer ao nível nacional, não têm sido satisfatórias, o que remete para as ações ao nível global (WorldBank, 2001, p. vi). Nos seus esforços no sentido de aumentar a eficácia da ajuda ao desenvolvimento, os doadores de ajuda e os países recipientes estão comprometidos a conferir maior eficácia às ajudas para irem de encontro à Declaração de Paris (OECD, 2005, p. 1). A Declaração de Paris estabeleceu cinco princípios que os países doadores e os países recipientes de ajuda ao desenvolvimento devem respeitar para garantirem a eficácia da ajuda ao desenvolvimento. Também ficou estabelecido que a responsabilidade do processo de desenvolvimento pertence aos países que recebem ajuda ao desenvolvimento, o que remete para o papel de liderança e autonomia dos respetivas políticas e estratégias de desenvolvimento (OECD, 2005, p. 2). O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar os esforços empreendidos pelo governo da Suazilândia no sentido tomar a liderança das políticas e estratégias de redução da pobreza, em conformidade com a Declaração de Paris e com a Agenda de Accra. A Suazilândia é um caso cheio de complexidades pelo facto de ser classificada como país de baixo-médio rendimento e, não obstante, 69% da população viver em miséria, por ser um dos países com menor taxa de crescimento económico da região subsaariana, e por ter uma das maiores taxas de incidência da SIDA/HIV. Perante estes desafios socioeconómicos, as autoridades da Suazilândia devem ser cuidadosas na escolha das prioridades relevantes para o desenvolvimento e para a diminuição da pobreza.
Poverty reduction is one the most important development agenda’s for much of the developing world, and it is a challenge that is yet to be met. Poverty reduction actions at the local and thenational levels have not been enough, which is why global action through development aid plays such an important role countries take action to end poverty (World Bank, 2001, p. vi). In its efforts the increase the impact aid has in poverty reduction, donor and partner countries are committed to “(...) scale up for more effective aid”, as stated in the Paris Declaration (OECD, 2005, p. 1). The Paris Declaration agreed on five key principles that donors and partner countries need to adhere to in order to ensure the effectiveness of aid. Most importantly, it was also agreed that development is the responsibility of developing countries by taking greater leadership over their development policies and strategies (OECD, 2005, p. 2). The purpose of this dissertation is to assess the efforts made by the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland in taking greater leadership over its poverty reduction policies and strategies as stated in the Paris Declaration and the Accra Agenda. The case of Swaziland is filled with complexities as it is classified as a lower-middle income country and yet 69 per cent of the population lives in poverty, it is one of the slowest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa and has the world’s highest HIV/AIDS prevalence. Faced with these socio-economic challenges, it is important that the Government of Swaziland makes the right priorities that will effectively address the development challenges in the country and will assist in poverty reduction.
